cross out
In arranging the musical score, X altered some of the vocal lines and crossed out others. (That's what I do as a musician - crisscrossed and improvised don't make sense in this context.)

Johanna Timm, PhD
: that would be: ausstreichen/durchstreichen and grammatically, your suggestion would call for durch*ge*kreuzt.

Apparently the author describes a reference to and 3-stage abstraction of the melody or Gesangslinie in the accordionist’s play, ranging
from “quoted” via “paraphrased/varied” to “transformed”
or
from “picked up / seized” via “paraphrased/varied” to “counterpointed”
Note that a counterpoint is usually being referred to as a voice “in its own right” even though being governed by a cantus firmus (in this context, the Gesangslinie; cf. polyphony), whereas “transformation” is much more general.

(I provided the infinitive rather than participle just like you did.)
